HIIT vs PlugBrain
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
HIIT
The first rule of Zombieland; cardio. HIIT, high intensity interval timer, is a no frills timer for interval training routines, or anything you may need an interval timer for really. You may specify a number of seconds for each active period, a number of seconds for each rest period and, optionally, a number of seconds before the end of each rest period to warn of the upcoming active period giving you time to prepare. No ads No trackers No permissions Ultra simple interface
PlugBrain
PlugBrain is an app that encourages regular breaks from distracting apps by blocking access at scheduled intervals. To regain access, you’ll need to solve a math challenge that adjusts in difficulty: the more frequently you use the apps, the harder the challenges become, but the longer you stay away, the easier they get. **Features** - No ads - No internet required - Blocks distracting apps - Unblock apps by solving math challenges - Difficulty increases with frequent use, decreases with focus **How to use** - Grant all required permissions - Select distracting apps - Choose your focus interval - Stay focused ;)
